The messages found in the consoles in Sword of the Stars: The Pit are in English, but converted to the Zuul script, which basically is a simple substitution cipher. Most characters are converted to two in the Zuul script, but there are some exceptions. Notably, common character pairings in English often have their own unique substitutions.
